Will Doreen's Dividend Aristocrat Plans Also be Booted out like the Dow?

Will the Board continue to increase the dividend in September, or keep it flat, now that the company is no longer part of the DJIA?

Maybe it is time to reinvest in 'the Network' instead of social justice warrior networks. Elon Musk solved the rural broadband issue, while this company bobbled the ball again.

Maybe they should keep increasing the dividend, as none of the strategy groups have come up with a single investment that has returned its cost of capital in more than a decade. See the stock price for details, should there be any doubters!

@d3 Doreen. 'retired' all of the manager pensions, and the BOD has been increasing the dividend since she did in 2004. Aristocrats increased their dividends for 25 years.

GTE rarely increased dividends while BEL and NYNEX had different thoughts.

@OP She retired in 2009! Dan & Alfonso aren't lifers and probably never even heard of Doreen, let alone her dividend aristocrat plan! They will do whatever they think will boost the share price in the short term so they can increase their own compensation.

The high dividend is the only thing keeping the VZ stock somewhat afloat. Also the platypuses.

But I agree with you, if only VZ made strategic and well thought through reinvestments into its business... looking back at the last decade, VZ did spectacularly wrong

Unfortunately, at this point VZ BOD and CEO are slaves to their wage and stock holders

Didn’t they increase the dividend in 2Q26? Why would they do it in September?
